​Azolla Phi​lippines

Step 1 - Getting the POND ready

Azolla can be grown abundantly in lakes, rice fields with irrigation, concrete tanks, or any dug-out pond that can hold water. Azolla is initially grown by inoculating a pond with AZOLLA STARTER. The azolla will quickly colonize the pond and become self-propagating. First-time growers can easily prepare a pond.

Step 2 - Add soil or animal manure (Optional)

Azolla, just like any other plant, needs nutrients to sustain its growth. The addition of animal manure such as from cow, pig or chicken boosts azolla growth. Approximately a kilogram of dry manure per square meter of pond is recommended.
